Senior Lawyers Section

Anyone may join the Senior Lawyers Section; although to be a voting member, one must be an active or inactive member of the Washington State Bar Association who is age 55 or have practiced in any jurisdiction for at least 25 years. As one of the few association sections that do not focus on a particular area of the law, the Senior Lawyers Section provides information about navigating the practice of law, life transitions and developments in the law. The Section provides benefits to members by holding an annual meeting that includes CLE sessions, and usually a hosted lunch. The Section also presents other CLE programs on-line which focus on a broad range of topics, and publishes a newsletter, Life Begins, with articles of interest to senior lawyers. Section members are encouraged to submit articles for the newsletter.
